RESUMO:

The urban socio-environmental vulnerability in Brazil derives predominantly from the process of urban construction and expansion of cities and social issues arising from this process. In this way, this study aims to propose a system of indicators based on the historical and cultural process of Brazilian urban expansion that allows analyzing the socio-environmental vulnerability of a given territory. For this, it is characterized as a deductive method and as an exploratory and descriptive research of a qualitative and quantitative nature. From the literature review and through a theoretical essay about the central theme of this study, it was possible to fill a gap found in previous studies: to propose indicators that, together with existing in the others indicator systems, can analyze urban socio-environmental vulnerability in addition of natural disasters, but with an emphasis on social issues, quality of life, sustainability and urban expansion, which are inherent to the cities construction process and that, when analyzed, reveal the reality experienced by citizens. The result was 98 feasible indicators, included in the two dimensions of sócio-environmental vulnerability (social and environmental). In the second moment, a generic methodology was proposed for the construction of a indicators system, which was applied to the indicators framework of urban socio-environmental vulnerability. The result of this stage of the study allowed the grouping of the indicators according to their level of similarity, resulting in a system capable of analyzing such phenomenon, in a comprehensively and integrated way, allowing flexibility to the researcher. To apply these indicators, this study adopts the city of Natal, capital of Rio Grande do Norte – Brazil as a spatial cutout, as it has a complex urban socio-environmental dynamic, due to its natural characteristics. This capital has been the target of many investments, both in the public and in the private domain, while other areas that, due to the disorderly growth, demand a greater demand for infrastructure and habitation services. In this way, the choice of Natal is related to its process of urban expansion, as well as its economic and political importance, because it is the capital of the state. Thus, the work contributes to the study of urban socio-environmental vulnerability, since it is able to work on a theoretical approach based on the proposition of the indicators, searching a relationship with the practical reality through its application in the city of Natal, contributing to the urban development process of cities.
